Well, you can fit VMS onto an R(M,A, )80 drive with no problem, the
mighty 11/730 is living proof.
RD54's though are a lot less power hungry.

into the early 00's. Albeit with another RD54 for the user software, and
another two RD54's for analysis data. However, SCSI or a solid state solution
is a markedly better solution.

Q-bus disk options, using uSD or recent media, arguably include:
- RQDX3 - MSCP - David Gesswein's MFM emulator (or similar)
He has ~660MByte disks in the system. MFM won't work for him :)
